Well it's exciting to hear that a new game is actually on the way at all. I'm glad OWI (or should they be referred to as OddMob now?) finally decided to get another party to create the games...

My issue with the Clakkerz is mostly their design. The idea of redneck characters isn't inherently bad--after all, it's nice to see the culture that consumes all the Glukkon/Vykker made products, and...

I'm of two minds on how easily OWI could outsource a new game. Although I think having a "creative core" that stands independently of technical problems and day-to-day minutiae would be advantageous,...

I would say Stranger would be called a terrorist, but he actually led an armed invasion, which isn't normally considered a terrorist tactic. He'd probably go more along the lines of rebel leader, or...

*In case you haven't finished OSW, SPOILERS*


Steef, Stranger's species, are protectors of grubbs, who are the embodiment of the "native" scene in OSW. Stranger himself has given up, or possibly...

It was in OWI's contract with xbox that the game (MO) would release at the same time as the system, so they got screwed for time after making the switch from the PS2. The mistake was to agree to...

Max: True. In hindsight, everything becomes much clearer. I didn't mean to suggest that if columbus were a truly moral individual he would've known subjugating the native americans was a bad idea....

Magog on the March was also to show us the nature of propaganda. Since we were active participants in the events reported, it was easy to see how the actions and motives were misrepresented. But I...

Hmm...Kill Whitey.... I've heard worse ideas: Vote Bush. Vote Bush Again. Trickle-down economics. Trust the FDA. Yeah. Lots of other worse ideas.

Oh wait. I just looked down, because this...

As Max said, it's a question of conflicting worldviews. The industrialists can't imagine the way the natives live. Or rather, they feel that such a method is errant, and would only be practiced by...

I guess the idea is that Lorne said he was working on a movie, and we won't hear anything more until that's finalized and there's no doubt it will come out. He has caught some flak in the past for...

I thought one of the things OWI wanted to do with Stranger was showcase that their game-making abilities weren't limited to puzzle games. Besides, if a story demands a different format, its weak to...

Unlockables

Stranger is short. And as far as I know the closest thing to secrets in OSW are the "easter eggs" and the cheats. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm quite a sucker for secret areas and...

Yeah, the flippant and complete disregard of the possibility is what bothered me. But to be fair, Oddworld is based on earth, and it seems likely that their gender representations would be analagous...

I know which crates your talking about, but I have no clue how to get to them. I figured if you shot them, the ammo might fall down, but that didn't work. I can't see a way to reach them. OWI may...

There was also a storyboard for a scene in which Stranger sees someone die. Whether it was cut early, late or if the "you better stay out of my way" part was included, no idea. I'm thinking it was...

Personality is an aspect of gender, not sex. We don't know what kind of gender roles are given in a steef society. Besides, I think Stranger being a female wouldn't necessarily be silly or creepy....

The first real blow to the theory! We know they must have seen other Steef to compare stranger to, but we don't know whether or not they saw any females. Its probable that they did, since they...

I think it would be a stretch for stranger to be a female, but as Voodoo Hand points out, there are no definite signs that he's a male. If he were human, we'd know he was male, but we've met very few...

Besides, its a spaghetti western standard. You go into town to meet your contact, bada-bing! your contact is dead and you're surrounded. That's the way we throw down.

The diagram does show it. The spinal cord needs to be shortened and the extra mass removed. The two front legs aren't built to support the entire weight unaided. But besides that, there are giant...

Actually, if you think about it, a centaur's biology doesn't make much sense. Its the torso of a man put where the head of a horse should be. Making it a creature with two torsos. A steef makes more...

On that note, its possible that Stranger's scrawniness is due to having cramped himself into the pants. Kind of like how a corset pushes your organs up into your ribcage, his pants could have...
